Walks DescriptionDetails of our Thursday walks are listed in the timetable. There is often a choice of two walks, but only walk option (a) has a leader.There is usually NO leader listed for walk option (b) but a member of the group will know the walk. Walk option (b) is generally easier and/or shorter than walk option(a).If you require more information about a particular walk, please contact the leader listed in the timetable.

General Instructions

Please arrive 15 minutes early as we start promptly. At the meeting place we car-pool and then drive to the start of the walk. If it is a long drive, the walk leader will ask you to contribute to the petrol costs of the carpool driver.

Bring lunch and plenty of water. The weather changes very quickly - be prepared! If the forecast is bad, the leader may change the walk, but we rarely cancel.

Sorry but we do not allow dogs on the walks.
